Tempt My Tummy Tuesday

I just discovered this meme and I couldn't be more excited! A place to share some of my recipes and direct my friends and family here to check out my latest creations! I am always on the lookout for fun, delicious and different recipes and I always seem to have people who are willing to give them a try!!
This one came about thinking of Pizza but not wanting to have the crust that comes with it.

SMASHED CRASH POTATO PIZZAS.
Start with small New Potatoes. Wash and parcook potatoes until soft but still somewhat firm enough to hold thier shape.

After parcooking, coat potatoes in Olive Oil, and place on foil lined baking sheet.

Using a Potato Masher, apply enough pressure on the top of the potato to smash it flat!! Try to make sure it keeps a lot of its shape though. There is still stuff to go on top of it!

Sprinkle each potato with Salt, Fresh Ground Pepper and Italian Seasonings to our taste.

Add a dollup of Spicy Salsa on top of each potato.

Sprinkle fresh cut Green Onions over each potato.
Cover each Potato with a generous amount of Old Cheddar Cheese.

They are now ready to go into the oven.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Cook on middle rack in the oven for about 20 minutes or so or until the Cheese is browned and bubbly and the potato is crispy.

They kind of remind me of little Pizzas!

I served them with a fresh Green Salad.

Bon'Appetit!

A Very Mellow Yellow Macro Monday

I have been featuring photos from Hilda's Tribute Garden, which we visited a couple of weeks ago. She had garden signs all over her garden which she designed and painted herself. Her hubby did the metal work for each sign. Here are just a sampling of some of the signs in her garden.


















There were many more signs but I am sure blogger would of cut me off sometime!!!

The Weekend in Black and White

I recently featured pictures from a Tribute Garden I visited a couple of weeks ago. Here are some of the Statues from the garden.

I thought the one above here was a bit creepy! I think it is just the patina from the paint peeling over time that made it a bit creepy!

This statue was the last statue to be placed in the garden. It still has the red bow tied to the arm from Christmas.

Watery Wednesday

Dressing leaves in Waterdrops is like dressing in a beautiful gown and going out on the town!
It's the bling that brings the whole outfit together!
Not much fun to go out in the pouring rain, but it pays after the rain stops!
You can get the best drops!

Raindrops are like little microcosms each on thier own. I love them all!
